After the breakout success of Samsung's Galaxy Note 2, a lot of speculation and rumors surround the upcoming release of the Galaxy Note 3. When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S4 they unknowingly revealed a couple things about the future Note 3. The Galaxy Note 3 will definitely feature Sound & Shot, Eraser, Cinema Photo, and Drama Shot on the camera. The new Samsung phablet will also feature the North Korean company's signature S Orb (360 degree panorama mode).

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will probably be comparable in design to recently launched Galaxy S4. The Note 3's display will most likely be slightly larger than it's predecessor, the Note 2. As with most smartphone trends, the screen will be bigger but the phone will somehow be lighter and thinner.

A lot of Samsung fans are speculating about the "under-the-hood" tech specs. The Note 3 will feature the Exynos Octa chipset based on four Cortex A15 cores for more CPU power, and four Cortex A7 cores for simpler tasks.

As was mentioned earlier, the screen will be enhanced. The Galaxy Note 3 will most likely feature a 5.8-inch full HD Super AMOLED display.

More importantly, when will the Note 3 be released? Aiming to sway Apple fanboys away from the Cupertino-based giant, Samsung will most likely release the Note 3 a little after Apple releases the iPhone 5S; possibly early September.

Following the trend for the first two Note phones, Samsung will most likely unveil the Note 3 around the same time as IFA Berlin 2013, which opens September 6^th. Potential Note 3 buyers should anticipate a release date around the September 1-5 time frame.
